Relationsmarknadsföring har idag blivit en central del i många företags marknadsföring. Kort sammanfattat är relationsmarknadsföring ett marknadsföringssätt som fokuserar på att etablera och utveckla relationen till kunden. Eftersom en konsument idag, bland annat med hjälp av Internet, har tillgång till väldigt mycket information ökar medvetenheten och ger kunden en större möjlighet att välja var och av vem hon ska handla. De konventionella marknadsföringsmetoderna blir alltmer ineffektiva och företagen lägger istället mer energi på att skapa en relation till kunden som individ. Inom modebranschens detaljhandel syns detta tillvägagångssätt i form av kundklubbar, nyhetsutskick och den personliga interaktionen i butikerna.

Foreign invested SMEs have recently become increasingly interested in China. The enterprises are in this report categorized as second wave companies since they follow the footsteps of previous pioneers, of which mostly were larger companies. The ambitions of the SMEs are either to sell products on the ever expanding Chinese market or to utilize the potential of low cost production for global markets. The existing literature is fragmented and solely based on the experience of larger companies. We believe that SMEs are facing new and different challenges, and thus a new generic theoretical frame work is desirable.

Vår uppsats utgår från det faktum att det har blivit svårare för företag att utmärka sig i det ökande bruset av marknadskommunikation. Konkurrensen om konsumenternas uppmärksamhet har tvingat marknadsförare och företag att använda sig av nya och annorlunda marknadsföringsmetoder för att nå ut med sina budskap. Samtidigt visar forskning att dagens reklamintensiva samhälle har medfört en ökande skepticism hos konsumenter när det gäller kommersiell påverkan och att konsumenters förtroende för företag generellt sett har försvagats. Frågan om marknadsföringsmetoder och kommersiell påverkan är ett känsloladdat ämne, eftersom fler metoder tenderar att inkräkta på konsumenternas integritet. Det har visat sig att konsumenter litar mer än någonsin på sina vänner och sin familj och allt mindre på reklambudskap när det gäller att bestämma vilka produkter och tjänster de ska köpa I USA har fler företag börjat använda sig av en marknadsföringsmetod som kallas Stealth Marketing för att skapa medvetenhet kring sina produkter/varumärken.

Products created and consumed at the same time within the service market are often very homogenous (similar).
